I wasn't able to reply to this thread for some reason, and it did not have the solution:

It's been two years now, I hope I missed something obvious, because I couldn't figure it out.

For rounded edges? You should be able to multi-select items in the scene tree and scroll down and add rounded edges to them all at once.

What a descriptive thread title. Oh, must be me. I am the original poster of the the thread referred to above:
https://www.keyshot.com/forum/index.php?topic=11178.0

Unfortunately, the Keyshot forum software does not allow me to reply to my own thread anymore. I wish the forum moderators here would make sure to keep all threads open indefinitely, unless closure is specifically warranted. Please open for commenting again. People are still wondering.

I, too, wonder whether the current version has solved the problem from 2015.

Only within the same group. As soon as you try to select across multiple groups (nodes in the tree), the rounded-edges option disappears.

Will contact Luxion support about this.

We have the same lamentable Keyshot behaviour here (in an older version).
As soon as we select multiple objects, the rounded edges option suddenly becomes unavailable:

The main purpose of computers is batch information processing.
Luxion, please enable batch application of rounded edges across a selection of multiple objects.

@eobet - Yes, please report to Luxion and let us know what they reply in this thread.

They replied with this workaround:

QuoteThank you for contacting Luxion Support.
There is no Simple way to do this.
But you can use the In Project Material Library.
How to do it:
1.   Go to the Scene tab
2.   Open the Materials Tab found below the scene tree.
3.   Multi Select the materials of the parts you want to apply the Radius on
o   Multi-Selecting can be done using ctrl or Shift
4.   Right click the selection and chose: Select Parts with Material.
o   KeyShot will select all parts with that material.
5.   Go back to the Part Properties tab.
o   If all selected parts support rounded edges the Rounded edges settings should be available.
6.   Apply the desired Rounded Edges Value.
o   KeyShot may get unresponsive when editing large amounts of parts, but should get back to normal given the time.
Please let me know how that works for you.

However, I couldn't get it to work.
